Chapter 60: The Jade of Death is Broken
"Xuan, Fanbang envoy Nu Grand to see you!" Chang Shiliang stood on the Jinluan Hall and shouted.
"Woowoo——!" As Chang Shiliang's words landed, a high-pitched and powerful horn sound came from outside the Jinluan Palace, and Qiao Xiya, who was standing on the side, was shocked with goosebumps.
A sturdy man dressed in foreign costumes, with four retinues of different colors and costumes, held his head high, did not squint, passed through the horn procession standing on the left and right, and slowly walked towards the Jinluan Hall under the gaze of loyal ministers. In the hand of one of the attendants, there was a small wooden box with delicate carved gold paintings, which shone brightly in the morning light.
"Minister, Nugelang, knock on Emperor Daning, long live, long live, long live!" The strong man fell to his knees and shouted long live.
"Flat." Mo Junchen replied lightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Nugeland stood up, "My lord and monarch are looking up to the grace of Daning, and there is no way to repay it, recently my lord and monarch have obtained a treasure, and the special minister has come to offer it to Long live, one feels the grace of heaven, and the other wishes the two countries will be in harmony and peace for a long time." With that, Nugeland took the small box in the hands of the attendant behind him and held it in front of him.
"Bring it in." A sentence was presented, Chang Shiliang hurriedly stepped forward to take the box, opened it, and held it in front of Mo Junchen.
A jade-shaped jade carving with a luster and snow-white color was presented in front of everyone.
Qiao Xiya raised her eyes and looked, and with just one glance, her body was like a sifting chaff. I saw that the butterfly-shaped jade carving in Chang Shiliang's hand was exactly the same as the elusive white moth in his home!
"Xiya, Xiya!" Qiao Qinglin saw that her daughter's face was pale and trembling, and she couldn't help but scream softly.
"Huh?" Qiao Qinglin's voice brought Qiao Xiya back to her senses, and after taking a few deep breaths, she raised her eyes again, where was there a white moth, it was just a beautifully carved butterfly-shaped jade carving.
"It's a treasure!"
"This jade carving is really exquisite!"
"A piece of jade, carved like a living thing!" The voices of the ministers gave Nugelang's face a look of pride.
"Reward!" Mo Junchen was also overjoyed when he saw the jade carving.
The word "reward" came out, and Nugelang took his entourage and bowed: "Minister, thank you Lord Longen!"
"Retreat! It's time to feast! Chang Shiliang glanced at Mo Junchen and sang loudly.
~~
"What's wrong with you?" Retreating to the class room, Qiao Xiya was still a little flustered and frightened. Qiao Qinglin looked at Qiao Xiya with some concern.
"Maybe I haven't had a good rest in the past few days." Qiao Xiya shook her head slightly, trying her best to hide the panic in her heart.
"Then you can go back first," Qiao Qinglin looked at Qiao Xiya, who was a little haggard, with pity, "Your Majesty is going to help you take sick leave for your father." ”
"Good ......" Qiao Xiya really felt that her physical strength was exhausted, so she should go down after thinking about it.
"Hurry up, hurry up, go and tell Your Majesty!" The commotion outside the door attracted Qiao Xiya's attention.
"Why at this time."
"What's wrong?" Qiao Qinglin walked to the door of the class room and grabbed the little eunuch who was whispering in Chang Shiliang's ear just now.
"Master Joe!" The little eunuch replied respectfully, "Qingshi Town came to report, saying that four or five corpses with burned faces were found, and a ...... was found in the crack of the wall near the corpses" The little eunuch approached Qiao Qinglin, and whispered in Qiao Qinglin's ear, "Bloody identity documents." ”
Qiao Qinglin frowned and pondered: "Bloody identity documents? In the cracks of the walls? Qiao Qinglin sensitively felt a different atmosphere.
"Xuan, Dali Temple Shaoqing Qiao Qinglin, Dali Temple Cheng Qiao Xiya, Zichen Hall to meet!" Just as Qiao Qinglin wanted to continue to ask, Chang Shiliang's voice sounded at the door of the class room.
Qiao Qinglin's father and daughter glanced at each other, straightened their official clothes, and followed Chang Shiliang out of the class room.
"Let's see." When he came to Zichen Palace, Mo Junchen handed Qiao Qinglin an identity document.
Qiao Xiya peeked at it, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Isn't this the stuff of the envoys of the Fanbang Dynasty this morning?"
"You recognize?" Mo Junchen's tightly knit brows stretched slightly.
"Wechen has learned a little about their culture, and this kind of arabesque ornamentation is unique to them......"
"Chang Shiliang! Go quickly and bring the envoys to see me! Before Qiao Xiya finished speaking, Mo Junchen called Chang Shiliang with a blushing face.
"Yes!" Seeing that Mo Junchen's face was not good, Chang Shiliang did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and left the Zichen Hall like a wind under his feet.
"Then the morning ...... today" Qiao Qinglin realized the seriousness of the problem, if this blood-stained identity document was really the envoy of Fanbang, then who was the person who entered the palace in the morning to offer treasures?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Chang Shiliang rushed back to Zichen Hall in a panic, and the look on his face made Qiao Qinglin confirm the guess in his heart even more, "People...... The man is gone......"
"Gone?!" Mo Junchen was furious, "Are the people who follow and serve all waste?" A few big living people can be gone! What about Gu Changan? Let him scatter people to find them, even if he digs three feet into the ground in Jin'an City, he must find those people! ”
"Yes......" Chang Shiliang was so frightened by Mo Junchen's angry monarchy that his legs and feet became weak, and he crawled out of Zichen Palace.
"Someone! Go get that jade carving! Mo Junchen had a hint of foreboding in his heart.
"Your Majesty...... Jade...... The jade carving ...... "The little eunuch of the Zichen Hall climbed into the Zichen Hall with the box in his hand, and crawled at Mo Junchen's feet like a sieve, and the beads of sweat the size of the bean rolled down from his forehead, wetting a small piece of ground in front of him, "The jade carving is broken!" ”
Qiao Xiya leaned over and picked up the box, opened the lid, and the delicate jade carving had turned into half a box of powder glowing with white light.
"Your Majesty, Envoy...... Got it. Before Mo Junchen sent the little eunuch, Gu Changan's voice sounded outside the Zichen Palace.
"Bring it in!" As soon as he heard that someone had found it, Mo Junchen didn't care about the little eunuch who was trembling on the ground, and hurriedly brought people in.
"This ......," Gu Changan hesitated for a rare moment, "Please also ask Your Majesty to move." ”
Gu Changan's reaction made Mo Junchen feel inexplicably uneasy. Mo Junchen and Qiao Qinglin's father and daughter glanced at each other, and the three of them walked out of the Zichen Hall together.
"Ahh Qiao Xiya let out a frightened scream. Qiao Qinglin and Mo Junchen were also stunned.
At this time, Mo Junchen understood why Gu Changan let him come out to see, instead of bringing people in.
Where is this still a person, it is clearly a skeleton wrapped in five pairs of human skins. The black hole had empty eye sockets, its mouth was pale and weak, its snow-white teeth were full of speckled blood stains, its hair was unkempt and sticky to its face, and there was a round hole the size of a red date in the middle of its neck.
Mo Junchen slowed down for a long time before coming back to his senses, he looked at Qiao Qinglin, who was also terrified, father and daughter, suppressed the fear in his heart, and called Chang Shiliang: "Summoning the Seventh Prince into the palace."
